Alan Forrest says the chance to play regular European football was a big factor behind his transfer to Hearts.
The winger has joined Robbie Neilson's side off the back of impressive form at fellow Premiership side Livingston. He's started life in maroon in impressive fashion, scoring twice during a 4-0 win over FC Europa during their Spanish training camp. More friendlies against Bonnyrigg Rose, Tranmere Rovers, Preston North End and Stoke City awaits before league business starts against Ross County on July 30th.
Hearts also have a Europa League play-off final which if lost, will still mean Europa Conference League group stage football until Christmas. It was a big reason behind Forrest's move, telling Edinburgh Evening News: “The lads have all been very welcoming. It was good that we all went away to Spain for a week right at the start, which gave me a chance to get to know everybody a bit better. Everybody has been really good with me.
